One of the most common problems with uPVC and aluminium double-glazed doors is that, over time, the door begins to "drop" or sag. You might notice that the door starts catching on the frame, becomes stiff to close, or the locking mechanism doesn't line up properly anymore.
The good news? In most cases, this isn't a sign of a serious fault — it's usually solved by a toe and heel adjustment.
Toe and heeling is a glazing technique used to brace and support the weight of the door through the glass unit itself, rather than relying entirely on the frame or hinges.
Think of the glass panel as a structural element. When correctly packed, it helps keep the door square and stops it from dropping.
This creates a diagonal brace inside the door — a bit like putting a strut in a gate to stop it sagging.
Here's what typically happens during a professional toe and heel adjustment:
Once this is done, the weight of the door transfers through the glass diagonally to the hinge side, stopping it from sagging in the future.
If you notice any of these, it's time to have the door checked.
A sagging double glazing door can be frustrating — but in most cases, it's a simple fix for an experienced installer. Toe and heeling is a tried and tested method that rebalances the weight of the door, restoring smooth operation and extending the life of your door.
👉 If your door is catching, stiff, or won't lock properly, don't assume you need a new one. A proper toe and heel adjustment can make it work like new again.
